The Best Assisted Living Communities in Snyder County, PA

"I can not say enough good things about the dedication and compassion of the people who work in the personal care and nursing areas of Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village. Nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, activities director, administration, reception, dining and custodial staff all go the extra mile to provide the best care they can for the residents and their families. Everyone is adept at what they do, and so thoughtful and kind. "

"RiverWoods was expensive. It's down along the river. I've eaten meals there with friends. It's perfect, but it's very high priced. The atmosphere was nice and the parking was easy. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had a little snack shop, which was very nice. If you have lots of money, it's perfect."

"Rockwell Retirement Center is a wonderful place. Their dining room is immaculate. They have people that will help you. I need a wheelchair and they bring it down so I can eat and they bring it down to my car. The rooms are not the most beautiful. You have to bring your own furniture and drapery. They're all old school rooms, which have been made into rooms for you to live in. They have loads of activities and they have a wonderful activity room. The library is absolutely perfect. They have an exercise room, and they do light therapy for you. It meets my standards. They have air-conditioning and heat in all the rooms. They have an emergency light system and an escape route in case of a fire."

"Mother was at Emmanuel Center for about a month, and it was better, nicer, cleaner, and safer. The staff was better than average. I guess, she is in the beginnings of dementia. Her issue is that she would think that people didn’t take care of her in a timely manner, but we as her family thought that they were much better. I just admire the work that they tried to do with the patients. "

"Polk Personal Care Center was very nice. The employees seemed very nice and friendly. It was very clean, and it seemed like they have a lot of activities for the seniors to get involved in. I would advise people to go there, plus I have gotten a lot of good feedback from other people who have relatives in there. They had their own chapel, a beautiful big dining room, an activities room, and a big patio outside where they could go if they wanted to be outside. They had all different kinds of activities, and every day there is something going on that they could do like Bingo or they could go to prayer meetings, if they wanted to do that; there was a lot of things to do. "

"North Ridge Center Personal Care is fantastic. The staff is great. The rooms are great, they're adequate size, and very well kept. I wouldn't have Mom at any other place. The food is fine, and the dining area is big enough for the amount of people that they have there. It's a very small place, and it's strictly assisted living. They have activities going on all the time. It's the best place in the area to be. It's out in the country, very quiet, and very peaceful. It's a really nice setting and has a family atmosphere."

"My father-in-law moved to Heritage Mills Personal Care and Memory Assistance Center. What I like best is that the people there are very friendly, and the residents seem very happy. It's a clean facility. It smells very good inside, and in the two weeks that he's been there, he's very happy with how they treat him and the people around him. The staff was very friendly and very informative. They worked with us to help him move into the facility, so they were very helpful and nice. My father-in-law said he likes the food. The structure is an old brick warehouse. It's very nicely done on the inside. One thing that he loves is they have trivia time or Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, and he's blind, so they help him with it, and he's had a ton of fun. It's a happy feeling when you walk in, light, bright, and airy."

"My great aunt had rehab at Mt. Carmel Senior Living Community. She was in rehab because she had fallen and broken her shoulders. She liked it, and she was engaged in activities. It was very clean. They do jigsaws, bingo, and things like that. That's what was going on when I was there. Her situation improved; she was discharged home independently. The staff were friendly and helpful. The facility was very clean, and the grounds are well-kept. I'm not sure how that all works out financially, but I would say it was fair. They got the desired outcome; she was discharged home. It was a little bit more institutional overall, but her room was homey. They do have a beauty/barber salon. We were satisfied."

"We chose Nippenose Valley Village for Mom, because it's the closest to home. To me, they're top-of-the-line and it can't get any better. They have fantastic meals. They have tons of activities. They have a gym, athletic stuff, classes for seniors, and a beauty shop. It's immaculate."

"My dad is in Willow View Personal Care. It has been very good. I have been up there several times. The place is clean. The food is decent. He has been there probably two months now. He is in a semi-private room. They have a few different lounge areas with TVs. His food is provided. The nurses provide medication. He is allowed to leave the facility for local trips or if family members want to take him out. "
